Line 3:
When ever you go into a dungeon, even if you give your adventurer the best possible equipment in the game, they will always have their normal weaponry that they own, even if they are not going to be using it. They don't have a place to store it, like a house, so they just carry it around. Also, look at who is an adventurer.
 
1.# Louie, Average Swordsman, who is always broke.
2.# Caillou, who is a Mage. He kinda breaks the mold of a standard adventurer, but then again, he is looking for treasure. Then again, he appears to be doing this for reasons besides "needing the money" (he wants to keep the items in the dungeons out of the hands of the Chapel Masters).
 
#* On the other hand, it's not entirely clear what the source of magic is in Recettear-land is.

3.# Charme, the Lady Thief {{spoiler|implied to be a princess of a foreign country and had to go into hiding due to a coup}}. A thief for hire is a better option that being a prostitute. And thieves typically have a good way of getting information about the world.

4.# Nagi, the Lance-wielding girl that keeps getting lost in dungeons and is somewhere from the far east (and I believe that the game takes place in France). She's a foreigner so she isn't going to have a lot of money.
 
5.# Elan, who is show to be really poor, even more so than Louie.

6.# Tielle, the Archer Elf. It's stated that there's a lot of distrust (and sometimes outright racism) between intelligent races. She isn't going to have a lot of money.
 
7. # {{spoiler|Griff, the Demon Assassin}}. Obviously, most people are not going to look kindly on someone like him.

8. # {{spoiler|Arma, the Golem}}. Has no physical need of food or shelter. Doing this for amusement.
 
9.# Sometimes you will meet Aloeutte in a dungeon (normally Jade Way). If you do see her, you will see that she has a lot of Adventurers, mainly townsfolk. Adventuring isn't their profession, but they are in a rather safe group. Alouette must have just shouted in a crowd that she needed some adventurers who would be well paid and they quickly signed up.

== The events of the game are Standard Operating Procedure for the Terme Finance Group; and involves exploiting a [[Groundhog Day Loop]]. ==
Line 99 ⟶ 91:
== The shop name is deliberate. ==
Recette knows full well what the sign reads like. She can't tell Tear what she thinks of her company and their practices, so she puts it on a sign for all to see and makes Tear sweat over what people think of it.
** Also if one uses the pronunciation that sounds closer to RESET, then Recette is also [[Genre SaavySavvy|showing she knows she is in a timeloop]]. See groundhog speculation above.
 
== Recettear takes place in a world which is for some reason almost completely inhospitable to plant life, but people adapted by either evolving or using magic to greatly slow their metabolism. ==
Line 111 ⟶ 103:
They seem to pick up actual treasures when they're not with Recette. Having a shielded shopkeeper around is a guaranteed rescue if you get overwhelmed, giving adventurers risk-free levels at the cost of not getting anything but the shopkeeper's fee. (Why they never get equipment from these hypothetical solo delves is another matter entirely.)
